Information for Adults
Many adults have lived with learning and attention problems all their lives, have always felt they were functioning below their potential and have managed by hiding the difficulties behind inventive coping strategies.
Adults with dyslexia, or any of its related SpLD, will have experienced a lifetime of being described as lazy, or being told that they need to try harder, or that they are not very bright.
Many have lived with an almost constant level of anxiety that either they are not good enough or that someone is going to find out they are not good enough. This can cause major problems at work.
If you are such an adult — and you want to change — the Davis® Programme can help you
The Davis Programme is particularly suitable for adults because:
- A facilitator will work with you on a one-to-one basis.
- The programme will be designed to meet your specific goals.
- The programme provides tools that allow you to focus, help you to relax and manage stress and energy-levels and help you learn skills that will overcome reading difficulties.
- The Davis Programme is an intensive programme, usually delivered over a period of 30 hours; there are no weekly visits.
- You arrange your follow-up work to suit your own timetable and commitments. The work is done independently with no extra expense.
- Davis Facilitators understand the difficulties experienced by a dyslexic adult.
Please contact the DDFA if you would like more information on the Davis methods or contact the Facilitator nearest to you.
